"Live At Buddy Guy's Legends" is Willie Buck's fourth album on Delmark. First came "The Life I Love", followed by "Cell Phone Man" and Delmark LLC's kickoff blues release "Willie Buck Way". An elder statesman of the Chicago Blues style, who has performed with everybody and knows everyone in the scene, Willie is one of the last standard bearers of the "old school" blues as its best. This album was recorded at Buddy Guy's Legends, ground zero for this genre in Chicago, blues capital of the world. For the occasion, Willie brought his right-hand man of many years, Thaddeus Krolicki, to join The Delmark All-Stars consisting ofsome of the most experienced and respected performers of the Chicago tradition. American master blues vocalist William Crawford, better known as Willie Buck, was born in 1937 in the small town of Houston, Mississippi. He began his craft singing in the most popular form of the day: Rock & Roll. Despite his vigor for the newly developing artform, his passions leaned more towards the more traditional sound of the delta: Blues. He performed on what became known as the Chittlin Circuit between Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, North & South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Shortly after developing a reputation, Willie took his first trip to Chicago, the blues Mecca, where he got to meet Muddy Waters, who was a friend of Buck’s cousin. Once he settled in Chicago permanently, he truly immersed himself in the Chicago Blues scene. He became a real force in the "Maxwell Street" blues legacy which boasts of the raw blues talent that it has produced.
